Globalization Partners International (GPI), a provider of website, software and documentation translation services in over 100 languages, announced that it has launched a new search engine for international business professionals, travelers, students, researchers and anyone else who needs to easily search the web by language, by country, and by search engine.

"Glearch stands for "Global Search" and is a tool for anyone who would like to perform searches by specific countries and languages," says Yasser Ahmed, Web Development Lead, GPI, "Glearch selects the top results from Google, Yahoo and Bing as well as the most popular search engines for a selected country and returns results."

“Glearch started as an internal tool for GPI’s staff of translators, researchers, copy writers and global search engine specialists, as well as an answer to a common request from clients to find country specific information from hundreds of separate sources on the web,” said Martin Spethman, GPI’s Managing Partner. “Glearch’s global map-based interface and compilation of country specific facts, web resources, maps, newspapers and top sites bring users a wealth of information on one screen.”

The new global search engine ,no listen

It's a reasonably nice graphic, albeit slightly stiff. What's the goal of this engine? If immediate relevam, I much prefer Yebol (http://www.Yebol.com).

Hello
For years, B2B marketers have refrained from putting search dollars into non-US markets because the userbase was lacking and the investment seemed too risky. But search markets around the world have matured considerably in recent years, and now offer a great opportunity. It is time B2B marketers took another look at global search.

The opportunity in a nutshell

According to comScore, the global search market is growing faster than ever. Markets such as China, Japan, and the United Kingdom (UK) now represent substantial search markets of their own with more than 28 billion annual searches between them. Additionally, a number of countries across the globe have experienced double digit growth in the last year. For example, in 2009, search in Russia and France grew at a jaw-dropping 92 and 61 percent, respectively, and search in Brazil was close behind with a 53 percent increase.

In fact, total worldwide search grew at 46 percent from 2008 to 2009, and included more than 131 billion searches. Moreover, while such volume is nothing short of impressive, US searches accounted for a mere 17 percent of that total. In other words, global markets represent 83% of the total search audience.

Pointing out the obvious

Despite such compelling statistics, many B2B companies still have not invested in developing a search presence in global markets. For example, recently I had a conversation with a marketer at a major consulting firm. While they offer their services to businesses in a number of markets around the world, they have yet to broaden their search efforts to target these markets.

Worse still, they indicated that they “had the international market covered” with a page on their US website that discusses their global offering.
